New Hampshire Ratifies the Twelfth Amendment

June 15th, 1804 220 years ago

New Hampshire became the 10th state to ratify the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which was originally proposed to address issues related to the electoral process for President and Vice President. The amendment aimed to prevent the possibility of having two candidates from the same state and established separate ballots for the election of the two offices. This ratification was significant as it marked a step toward a more organized and structured electoral process in the young republic.
